5 highest earning footballers in season 2017/18

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Cristiano Ronaldo has started 2018 with a bang

A man who is no stranger to topping such rich-lists, Cristiano Ronaldo is bound to be disappointed if he does read these figures.

The Portuguese talisman topped this list by earning €87.5 million last season. He has pocketed €94 million, showing improvement on a personal level.

However, in spite of earning more than what he did last year, the Real Madrid forward has slipped to the second spot.

Ronaldo endured a tough spell of 6 months as the season started, but he is back among the best after reviving himself. Since January he has found his goal scoring form, and that could well be the most crucial contribution should Los Blancos lift the Champions League trophy this season.
